    I thought this was a great review of all the options, new and used, available for those interested in the Fujifilm line. I found the comparison of the used cameras a great history lesson in the advancements that have been made over time. I've owned several of those older cameras, and I have to admit their review brings back great memories and fun shooting! This is especially true in our "social limiting" times. Thank you!

    I started my journey with Fujifilm with an X-T200, almost by accident as it was a Black Friday special that really caught my eye and I had read positive things about it. One of the biggest things I can say for it as a recommendation is that the X-T200 has been an outstanding bridge device for someone that was mostly shooting photos with their PHONE rather than another camera. A lot of the meat of the device is actually in its screen and the software behind it as it was designed with a lot of touch controls in mind and I found it to be a very intuitive camera to use that allowed me to gradually get more confident with the more manual controls and customizing the various buttons and wheels to better match the more technical Fuji cameras. I've been really satisfied with it as a learner camera and what's REALLY cool is all the lenses I've collected for it now transfer to the higher end cameras I've moved onto since which is a feature that never occured to me when I first bought it.
    Despite it being less used I still keep it around as a travel camera, and while I've cannibalized all the other lenses I have a TTartisans 27mm lens that stays attached to it for 90% of situations but knowing I COULD strap the same 16mm lens I love using helps me justify keeping it around.

  • @donaldklopper
    @donaldklopper 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Phew this was a lot to process; I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I started my Fuji journey more than 10 years ago with two "bridge" cameras (S5500 and later the fantastic X-S1 which I still use regularly with my Nikon DSLR) with small sensors, but I only have good things to say about the Fuji build quality and reliability on both of those. I feel that you generally get more than what you pay for. I was a bit taken aback on your comment on poor quality on older Fuji models. Maybe you're just a bit rough for your equipment as a pro. I appreciate the fact that you only recommended APS-C sensor cameras here due to the issues with image quality on anything with smaller sensors especially in low light, and I'm pleased that you included the fixed-lens options in your list. Fixed lens cameras simplify life in a huge way. I'll never forget the first time I saw my friends showing some holiday photos and I got suspicious about the quality of their images ... they bought a used X-T2 and the image quality was phenominal compared to their other images. Night and day. There's is definitely something to say for the X-Tx range, and one is still on my bucket list.

    • @jasonandrews7355
      @jasonandrews7355 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I've had one for about a year now as a secondary camera, for when I don't want to lug my big DSLR around. It's delightful! Just yesterday I was out shooting with it and an old Minolta 50mm lens, and the images look fantastic. It's really hard to beat the image quality and decent build quality of a used XE-1 (or other older Fujis, I'm sure.)
      Also, as someone who usually shoots with a high resolution full frame body, it doesn't make that much of a difference. The XE-1 is perfectly capable for 90+% of what I shoot!
      Glad you're enjoying it, you should have many happy years with it :).

    • @ryans_life
      @ryans_life 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Congrats mate. It is a gem of a camera. Have had mine for many years and still love it. The sensor on it and to a certain extent the T1 is phenomenal. Great to hold on even when you buy other bodies for it's lovely look. Pro tip, pair it with the 35 1.4 or manually adapt lenses for some extra sexyness

    • @problemat1que
      @problemat1que 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The first gen cameras are such a good deal and got really nice firmware upgrades back in the day to make them very useful for adapting manual focus lenses. Most of what happened afterwards was concerning megapixels, ibis, and autofocus, which for a short walkaround manual lens doesn't matter. I'm glad people are still getting a lot of joy out of these, hopefully for many years to come.

    Finally, someone made a clear point about the camera world, yes, the lens is last longer than the body, save the money for lens instant of going crazy for the latest camera body. However, Fuji doesn't update their camera core-tech as often as other brands, that's something users need to think about before jumping in Fuji gears, so buying an older camera model seems more valuable than buying a new one. When people choose the Fuji, it means people need to go slow and patience when taking photos.

    Great video! I have the X100v on the Zhiyun Crane M2 and it's incredible for video! So much lighter than a DSLR on a gimbal. I walked 18 miles with them yesterday and it was much easier to carry. The footage it produces is gorgeous. The max record time would be a limitation for some, but if that's not an issue and you want a portable solution for buttery smooth video - it's fantastic! :)

  • @sandnessmj
    @sandnessmj 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I first learned photography basics on film (Pentax K1000) about 20 years ago. I recently took up the hobby again and a few weeks ago I picked up a “like new” X-T30 with the 18-55 kit lens for under $900. My long fingers hit the Q button a few times, but there are some relatively cheap accessories (thumb grip, grip extension) that solved those issues and make it feel more controllable. I’m blown away by the performance and have already added a couple primes to my kit. Down the road I’ll likely pick up an X-T4 if I get into more video. The Fuji X system brings similar joy to photography that my old Pentax did and is so much more forgiving!

    additional benefit of the X-T3 over the X-T4; if you are upgrading from an earlier Fuji mirrorless, you can reuse any extra batteries you have purchased

  • @davidshumaker5877
    @davidshumaker5877 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Still using my entry to the Fuji system: an X-T1, which I bought when they were being closed out a couple of years ago. I love that camera, I love the Fuji lenses (especially the 35/1.4 & 50-140/2.8), and I HATE the battery life. Okay, trying to focus on moving subjects sucks, too. But otherwise, it's a great camera!

  • @GiovanniBausC
    @GiovanniBausC 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    For photography, I prefer the X-T3 dual-axis tilting display by far over the X-T4 side flip screen. That’s why I‘ve just purchased the X-T3 although I‘d have liked to have the IBIS.

  • @mick2d2
    @mick2d2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'd also add that a lot of other great Fuji cameras can be had second hand for a steal.
    These are great, well made, long lasting cameras.
    I bought a new XE-1 when it came out (still got it) and picked up an immaculate X-T1 a couple of years ago, which is amazing to use with legacy lenses, the viewfinder is night and day over the X-E1.
    I would say that every model of the X range could be a good option, at the right price.

  • @brucesmith9144
    @brucesmith9144 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I was considering the X-T200 for price and size, but after careful consideration, purchased the X-T30. For a little more money, you get much more camera. Another recommendation: choose the XF18-55 mm zoom lens over the XC15-45 mm PZ if choosing an X-A7, XT-100/200 or X-T30 kit. Some camera shops may be willing to switch the XC lens for the XF lens as mine did. The power zoom lens is a throwback (more like a throw away) to the old compact digital point-and-shoot cameras and your ability to zoom is limited to preset focal ranges rather than continuous zoom along the whole range.

  • @tom_photo

    Thank you very much for this great video. I tend to be an advocate of older Fujifilm cameras. I have reviewed many of them and concluded that they are all great options in their own right. Some of my favorite cameras have been 16 Mpix X-Trans II cameras. Cameras don't have to be new and expensive for their owner enjoy photography.

    I bought an X-E1 a couple of years ago for under $200. I got it as a secondary camera, for it's small size (with the 27mm 2.8,) and for adapting vintage glass.
    It's a champ, and I love it! My main camera is a high res full frame monster, so the tiny 16MP Fuji is the perfect counterweight when I don't want to take things too seriously. (the image quality still holds up too - I love that original X-Trans sensor!)

    Great video comparison. I'm considering an X-T3 in future as an every day carry or for when I'm out and about taking photos for my channel. When I need to walk much more, far from home, a full frame DSLR with its lenses starts to feel heavy, considering what I need to carry to shoot videos also. It will not subsitute completely my full frame DSLR but in some trips definetly yes. We'll see, I gave myself some more months to think about.

    I enjoyed this in-depth video. I have already ordered the XT4 but I am now shopping for a back-up body.
    Now that you have your hands on an XT4, I would love to hear in a future video your analysis of how older Fuji lenses (23 f1.4, 35 f1.4) perform on this latest model XT body. Some reviewers (including you) have mentioned the slow and noisy autofocus of older Fuji primes. Are you seeing better autofocus with the XT4 and older Fuji primes?

      My setup isn't for everyone but for street, documentary, travel and some studio shots it works out great for me.

Sturdy and tough, not small toyish, portable, and the range finder style form factor is unmatched. In black of course. Its just a joy looking at this piece of art.

If you're an indie filmmaker and want to spend more time shooting than coloring in post, I'd definitely suggest the X-T3/4.

    Great video! I have a (very) old X-T1 which I really love, and which I prefer to the newer X-T3/4 in terms of how it makes you feel. The X-T4 especially feels way too clinical, and very confusing to people who only shoot stills. The X-T1 really feels vintage, looks vintage, and still delivers outstanding images.

    Hello there, great video, but i think you should have included the XT1 for the under 500$ section. Though it's 6 years old by now, it's still a top Camera and one of my all time favourites. Sure, it hasn't got the best focus, but if you aren't shooting sports or so there's no problem at all. Highend classic Camera with astonishing image quality (even for 2020) for around 400$ (in a good condition). Super fun to use and a moneysaver for better lenses.

    no one buys that, but i it's basically one of THE best midrange camera if not THE best from fuji.

    Just bought an X-T3(supposed to arrive in a couple days). I went from Nikon DSLR(too big/heavy) to Panasonic(didn't like the AF system) to Olympus, which I used for a couple years. Olympus makes fantastic stuff, but I've been needing high iso more often recently, and that's one of the few things Olympus struggles with. Looking at reviews and sample RAW files, I determined that Fuji was a solid high iso noise improvement over the Olympus without getting too big and bulky.

    I want to let you guys know I just bought the Xt30 with the 18-55 kit lens for $955 before tax and shipping on Amazon. I wanted a small and portable camera that had good quality so I could capture moments in my life anywhere I went. I was considering getting a used Fuji I actually almost bought a Xt2 for $550 but after looking into some newer models and really thinking about the long term use I’m not sure how the camera will hold up and I always put insurance on my expensive items I decided to again look into new ones and found the Xt30 for $675 body only and again $955 with the kit lens. I really didn’t want to spend this much on a camera but it was a really good deal so I bit the bullet and am now waiting for it to ship to me. Also guys if you’re patient and keep an eye on amazon listings you might see the same price I did I saw that mine has been jumping in price it’ll go to $1299 then back down sometimes on certain colors.
